1) Ensure scim-tables-additional & scim-modules-table packages are installed
2) In /etc/X11/XSession.d create file "75custom-scim_init" and have the
following entries in it,

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"

export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"

export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
3) Restart the session. Open Gedit and try inputting using Scim (Ctrl-Space
for toggling Or Choose from Right Top Corner of Panel)
